The case of the pencils “erasable”. Meanwhile, in the Capital, and bursts the case of the pencils “erasable” and on the social, there is crying already to the plot. From the Casilino in Ostia, from the Pisan to Don Bosco, immediately after the opening of the polls and the voters, the romans have started to complain to the police and the police of possible fraud to the constitutional referendum: “Just one blow of the rubber, those pencils are not indelible”.

The first reports arrive, have arrived from the polling stations in via Giuseppe Salvioli, the area of Don Bosco, and largo Ravizza, a short walk from the San Camillo hospital. Still: complaints by Montesacro and Acilia. In the latter case, before calling the police, was a policeman to ask to try the pencils in front of the president of the polling station. A has been delivered to the agent of the municipal police with a lot of rubber at the end. At Torre Spaccata, section 1078, an electric has also requested to put on record the alleged scam: “I was able to delete my vote on the card”.

Also because the complaints continue to arrive without interruption. The most recent is that of Francesco Paola, and comes from section 1831. “The school Garrone of Ostia,” said the elector – the signs of the pencil that we have given could be deleted with a classic rubber. We had arrived several messages on WhatsApp, which warned on this problem. I brought a piece of paper and I did a test. At that point I reported everything to the president of the polling station. I was told that pencils are those delivered from the Viminale and that even if they are erasable, the paper ballot is indelible. I did the same test on the card. Even in that case, you could delete”. The school came the representatives of the Municipality and the central election office. “I am a teacher – says Francesco Paola – and until yesterday, I explained to the boys the Constitution. This thing is not going well. We did put everything in the minutes and we will present a complaint”.
